Financial markets channelizes the savings of people in capital formation and direct them to the productive segments of the economy and facilitate ‘price discovery’ as well. They actively provide the much-needed liquidity to the market. In other words, financial markets act as intermediaries between investors and borrowers i.e., corporate enterprises, banks and government.
